I can’t be home in person but I am in solidarity with the brave Montanans protesting the anti-democratic and transphobic actions of the Republican legislature.
Please, donate if you can.

Anyway, fellow cises and straights, don’t abide queerphobia. And fellow men, patriarchy is a prison and it’s not great for us or anyone and it’s not worth it.
I think a huge chunk of transphobia and the drag panic comes from homophobic people realizing that straight men can be attracted to someone who may or may not have a penis, and melting the whole way down.
Seems very small and insecure.
Drag isn’t inherently sexual and trans people aren’t sexual objects. But patriarchy is so terrified of emasculation of any kind that drag and trans women rejecting masculinity (and implicating straight men attracted to drag queens or trans women) throws patriarchy into a spiral.

The IPCC report puts business-as-usual warming at 3.2*C by 2100. I am begging my church @ELCA to tap our practices of humility and neighbor care to become a public example of mitigation, adaptation, and climate justice, and to do it now. We have no time to waste.
Today I ask you to offer a special prayer land acknowledgment. We pray with the Apache Stronghold for the protection of their sacred place at Oak Flat from destruction by a foreign-owned mining company. Oral argument will begin in Pasadena, CA TODAY.
Type the names of the tribes on whose land you live below. #SaveOakFlat
